Poetic Isolation

In some places, people are welcoming that lovely shade coziness that Autumn brings. However, in our country, we do not have the fall season. As much as I would love to experience one, I guess I have to wait until such time that I can go to another country that experiences the fall season.

In the meantime, I have to be content with watching Youtube videos and eyeing at Instagram pictures that scream the season. To channel my curiosity and imagination, I just decided to do my own fall inspired makeup, as if I am actually experiencing the season. lol

From what I've learned, fall bring out colors that are a bit darker and warmer. For that reason, my supposedly everyday fall makeup here is filled with earthy and golden eye shadow colors. Of course, my overall fall makeup wouldn't be complete if I won't match it with a dark plum/red lipstick.

Here goes my makeup look and please let me know if it will pass for an everyday fall makeup. And yes, I took a step by step photo how I did the makeup, just in case you wanted to recreate this look. hehehe

After putting on my BB cream and filling in my brows, I went ahead and put on the rest of my makeup.

If you would like to recreate this simple look, here's how I did my makeup:

1. The first step is to apply a shimmering copper colored eye shadow all over your lids. Since I am opting for an everyday makeup, I chose a softer copper color.

2. As a sweet ode to the dried leaves of Autumn, apply a rum colored eye shadow on your crease. This is to add a little depth on your eyes.

3. To add more dimension to your crease, add a darker matte eye shadow on your crease. I chose a brownish violet eye shadow color from my Sleek eye shadow.

4. Next is to apply a beautiful winged-eye liner on your lids, curl them lashes and then put a significant amount of mascara. I don't want my eye makeup to be so bold so I went for a lenghtening mascara eyelash instead of a volumizing one.

5. A fall makeup wouldn't be complete without a dark red lips, so I grabbed two of my darkest lippies and applied them all over my lips.

6. Once I already have my desired lip color, I proceed in applying a soft contour and peach colored blush on my my cheeks.

And that's how I completed my very simple and very easy everyday fall makeup!

Here's a selfie I took with all the makeup on:

Though I haven't experienced Autumn yet, I think it's a very lovely season full of beauty and inspiration. What do you think about this simple Autumn look? Let me know on the comment section below! mwah! <3

Hello friends! today I have a quick and easy makeup tutorial for you. We all have our own ways to wear our everyday makeup so for a little spice, I'm trying to make a look inspired from Lorde's Royals music video.

When I first heard the song I really fell in love with it. I loved it more when I saw the music video. I love the beat and the concept and yes, who wouldn't notice Lorde's makeup? Her makeup on the video isn't something that is complicated but somehow it looks so powerful. What's more is that it is easy to wear. I feel like her makeup is great for night out or for any dramatic shots. So if you want to update your night out makeup, Lorde's makeup is perfect for you.

Since this is not a video tutorial, I will show you a step by step photographs that will serve as a guide on how to achieve the look. I already applied the necessary makeup on my face before doing my eyes including an eye shadow primer. I'm also done filling in my brows (although it doesn't look so visible on the step by step photos lol)

STEP 1
DRAW A TRIANGULAR LINE ON YOUR OUTER LIDS
Don't know how to describe it properly but just take a good look on the photo above. You may use your favorite gel eyeliner for it but on my case, I chose to use liquid eyeliner because I think it will last longer on my eyes.

STEP 2
COVER THE ENTIRE LINE WITH A BLACK PENCIL EYELINER
The pencil eyeliner will increase the longevity of the liquid eyeliner by setting it. You can also use it to correct the triangular lines if it is a little crooked. Don't forget to also line your lower lash line.

STEP 3
APPLY BLACK EYE SHADOW ABOVE THE EYELINERS
Using your blackest eye shadow, create like effect towards the inner lids of your eyes. Don't overdo it and keep the center of your lids clean.

This is what your eyes should look like when you open them.

STEP 4

APPLY MASCARA AND FALSE EYELASHES

I actually forgot to take a close up photo of my eyes with mascara and falsies, but you get the idea right? mascara + falsies. You may use any kinds of mascara and falsies that you want, but for this look I'm wearing a lash lengthening mascara and a natural looking falsies.

STEP 5

FINISH YOUR MAKEUP WITH A PINKISH NUDE LIPSTICK

A soft lip color is perfect for the eye makeup. Of course, you may also wear something bold if you want to but if you are going for the Royals inspired look, get a pinkish nude lipstick. I do not have a lipstick in that color so I used to different lipstick for this look.

FINISHED LOOK :)

Lorde's gorgeous hair is difficult for me to pull off as I have a naturally straight hair. I didn't use any curling iron for my hair because I was about to go to work after taking these photos lol But to channel my inner Lorde, I tease my hair a little bit.

Not trying to look exactly like Lorde because duhh there can never be any other Lorde! This is a perfect look for a night out or if you just want to feel like your own queen.

I hope you enjoyed this post everyone. Now grab your eyeliners and bring out the inner Lorde in you!

love lots,
